ADVANCE is a faith-filled generosity initiative that positions Access Church to step into our first permanent home and expand our mission of helping people become fully devoted followers of Jesus.

On October 31, 2025, we closed on a 30,000-square-foot facility on Sandy Drive in State College, PA. Our goal is to give $1.84 million toward renovations and begin construction in July 2026 to prepare this space for greater ministry impact. Through the ADVANCE generosity initiative, we believe 100% of our church family will be part of moving from borrowing to possessing—so we can ADVANCE the kingdom of God in our community and beyond.

WHAT IS ADVANCE?

advance commitments

On Sunday, February 15, we asked everyone who calls Access Church home to complete a two-year commitment card—above and beyond their regular tithes and offerings—in support of this initiative. Along with that commitment, we invited each person to bring a portion of their pledge as a Launch Offering.

If you missed this special service, it’s not too late to participate! Simply select the “ONLINE COMMITMENT CARD” to be part of this exciting season in the life of our church. You can also click “CLICK TO GIVE” to set up a one-time or recurring gift toward ADVANCE.

Thank you for your generosity and for prayerfully investing in what God is doing through Access Church!
